To the OP - I love the RS6 of that vintage, the latest one are too flash. Not a fan of matte but I get why people do. As for the Astra, I wondered if you had sneaked it in as a daily - which as you seem to have your own business would be very sensible... Given Vauxhall's are now Peugeots under the skin, I imaging the Astra is a decent daily...

I've got a love / hate relationship with Matte paint, I think it shows the lines and bulges of a car better than gloss could ever do and it tends to be quite exclusive, so its unique and unusual. The downside is, it looks like a wrap to most, and as I already mentioned previously in this thread, its a mare to look after!

I think its worth the stress!

My neighbour just had his SVR wrapped at 4 years old.... in matte black. Does absolutely nothing for me. Preferred the purply blue it was before. Minimum effort wins for me... not sure how I ended up with very dark blue, black and a convertible roof to care for, but that's why I pay a man!

Looks lovely and I think the matte is worth the extra hassle. Not sure about the spacers though, that would just be an excuse for the mrs to kerb the wheels even more often.
